In other parts of the server, people in awe of the new Wayon-Dot sought to create empires of their own. A Japanese-inspired empire formed the northern islands, Roman and Spanish/Portuguese to the east. A Lord of the Rings empire almost formed in the west but was consumed by the tribal ways. In the east, The Empire of Tordesillias was an empire created by hard minds with hard intentions. Their ambition was only matched by their ferocity and greed. They sought to conquer entire kingdoms and sections of continents rather than trying to unite them. Despite this, the people of Wayon-Dot sat careless and happy on their island, feeling safe under Eoahtl and Wichita.

“Soon the Torde would consume the entirety of their continent with fire and diamond. They would then look to the west and see an opportunity for 'Fun' and they would invade the island of Huron. The invasion itself was so well-planned and quick that the people were not able to form a proper army or counter-attack. The cities of Wayon-Dot were laid to waste by the Torde invaders. Wayon-Dot was no more. Tordesillias continued to expand across the map to the point that they ruled it all. Despite this, Eoahtl, Wichita, and a war party of eight men managed to hide and plan. They had avoided being killed during the invasion and sought vengeance against the Torde. Sadly they were under equipped and demoralized by the shock of the attack.

Wichita would lead his small group of Yoahtlan across these small servers, changing as each server died. But after each passing server, Yoahtl grew smaller and smaller. These were the nomadic times of Yoahtl and throughout their travels, Wichita imbued his spiritualism upon the people and being of Yoahtl. Wichita believed that Spiritualism and Science were the same in many aspects. To claim that both concepts were made for the same reason; to find truth and unlock its secrets to better mankind. It was from there Yoahtl became more into finding truth from within themselves whilst taking inspiration from their surroundings.

It was at this time the first Seminars would be held. Named after the Seminars and Seminaries given in Catholicism, these were made for debate and discussion between Yoahtlan. At this time no outside communication was used in Yoahtl. Yoahtl also became known for its affinity for universal acceptance. Anyone was accepted no matter belief or identity. Wichita's reign as Yoahtl's second chieftain was overall one of enlightenment and cultural growth rather than political growth or expansion.

Quauhtli and company arrived at a small factions server by the name of “Halbyrd” and it was a very small server. The Yoahtlan traveled east until they came upon a river surrounded by a jungle. They traveled along the river until they came upon a clearing of plains between the jungle and two mountains. And it was there they set up camp. This settlement would be what was the first formal use of the Mesoamerican-influenced style of building. It was a small town with a stone stone brick pyramid dedicated to those in Xephos in the middle. And Yoahtl would prosper there for a time.
 
Line 53 ⟶ 54:
 
Halbyrd had also grown causing the population of Yoahtl to grow much larger and quicker than it ever had before and due to this new influx of people, the Yoahtlan culture and it’s ideals began to flourish among it’s people. These people also contributed to the Yoahtlan style of architecture and after some time the style improved and became more unique to Yoahtl. Then, for the first time since the days of Xephos, Yoahtl had more than one settlement. Civilization started spreading all across their remote island to the desert in the east and the plains to the south. The city in the desert was named Aztlan and Tikal was in the plains. Yoahtl also used this time to adopt and use the factions plugins of the server itself.

With this renaissance of the Yoahtlan practices, the Yoahtlan had stepped out of their nomadic ways. Yoahtl became much more “Civilized”. The factions plugin was used to help govern how power was distributed among the settlements and the beginnings of a government structure began to form. Yoahtl soon had a member count of around 30-40 at this time and soon became the top faction on Halbyrd. While Halbyrd was larger than it was before, it was still smaller than most other servers. This prompted the first warriors to be trained in Yoahtl.
 
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
 
The fighting took place for about two and a half hours. It ended when Mylttlpny no longer had the resources to fight Yoahtl equally without losing too much power to their claims. This battle was dubbed “The Battle of the Horse”. After the battle, the Yoahtlan were able to claim land surrounding the Mylttlpny claims. In this land, Yoahtl constructed an obsidian wall surrounding their claims and despite the fact the brony HQ which was a floating room constructed of iron and gold blocks with a water elevator on the bottom.

The construction of these walls lead to the siege of Tuton. The siege lasted four days. Small skirmishes took place during that time which Yoahtl won. Yoahtl used this power to claim more of the pixel art and set it aflame. On the fourth day Mylttlpny mounted an assault with about seven people at a moment when Yoahtl only had five citizens available to defend. These numbers allowed Mylttlpny to initially take back some of the land. However, more of the YoahtlansYoahtlan came online and then Mylttlpny was outnumbered twelve to seven. The YoahtlansYoahtlan were able to kill enough of the bronies to claim more pixel art and assault the HQ. The YoahtlansYoahtlan managed to fight their way up and flood and spawncamp the Mylttlpny HQ. By then Yoahtl controlled the rest of Mylttlpny's claims. All of the Yoahtlan cheered as they removed the blocks and broke into the chests. Soon they were burning the remainder of the pixel art. After that, the faction owner of Mylttlpny disbanded the faction. It was a clear and decisive victory.
 
After the fighting, and after the ugly buildings and pixel art were removed, and since the Yoahtlan claims were there, Tuton became a settlement of Yoahtl. Many YoahtlansYoahtlan moved into the city and fixed it up into a respectable place and Tuton became a symbol for the Yoahtlan dominance of the island. With this city joining the previous three, Yoahtl reached fifty citizens.

Eventually they hit land, and at the very moment they did; they stayed. A whole continent, isolated from anything or anyone who played in Endless; besides the Yoahtlan. The land was promptly named Ixilitlon and swiftly make-shift houses were built and progress had earnestly began. It was sand, as it was a mixture of both beach and desert; it was to be that many of the buildings to come will and would be built with sandstone, but with an attempt at the Huehuetlic design produced in Halybrd. Attempts at a nostalgia of Tuton was made, with grand to minimal success; it changed overtime. However at the same time; everyone had kept to the idea of being very quiet, absolutely no public chat until what could be recognized as a city could be made; and no TPA’s to those they did not know or trust. It was a wise policy.

This continued for a week and a half, and we slowly grew from from finding and observing those on the main continent and spawn who did not typically fought or mostly indulged in building. It was through this Yoahtl would grow to become a sprawling metropolis of comparable server iterations in the later future, and by now Yoahtl would soon become a major name on the list of top factions in EndlessCraft. EndlessCraft was a PVP-factions server, and as such ran on the factions plugin; those being noted on plugin-based notoriety based on member count, as well as rhetorical notoriety that would spread across the server; and while Yoahtl was keen on avoiding attention, it couldn't be help as their ambitions outweighed their caution. Slowly Yoahtl began to move away from it’s fear-driven caution; and more-so into it’s Halybrd moldings. As they built higher towers, greater aesthetics, and far more houses for far more people; they began to notice new houses built in various parts of the continent to which they called home.
 
Line 93 ⟶ 94:
 
By then, the continent Yoahtl called home became a hub of hope; a stark contrast to what could be offered at the main continent of Spawn. And furthermore it’s more hopeful peers became envious of what Yoahtl and its neighbors can offer. Yoahtl had become once again become a major power in the eyes of the server at large and it became very hard to cloak. Each new faction within the continent held its own aesthetics, build style, and focus; but held with them the ideals of the Huehuetlico. All went well; and Quauhtli would think to the stories told by Wichita; the story of Yoahtl’s Origins and the Empire of Wayon-Dot. Quauhtli saw the opportunity to make reality a new Wayon-dot in the continent Yoahtl called home and went about asking the faction leaders of each faction in the continent; A great meeting was held atop the first pryamid of Ixtlilton. The talks began as Quauhtli explained the history of Yoahtl and its importance; and after much agreement, the final agreement came into realization as it would be agreed that all factions upon the continent would be apart of Quauhtli’s new Wayon-Dot, and so aptly named was their home continent. Made up of several bases and towns of the continent; they would defend each other and trade amongst each other with open arms knowing it will flow back to one another eventually. The second Wayon-Dot was established, and it was good.

There were many new smaller factions scattered across Wayon-Dot; Yoahtl of course being the more prominent of them. However among those outside of Ixilitlon, a particular few stood out from the rest; those of which who had carved a particular niche and style within Wayon-Dot. First being the “Assassins”, the second largest faction in Wayon-dot. The Assassins’s name was an accident, but it’s niche and way in Wayon-dot was anything but; for they grew quickly from its very conception. The houses and buildings of Assasins were completely oaken, with small exceptions of cobblestone. They lived in the southern parts of the continent along a taiga/tundra coast overlooked be great mountains and cliffs. They took focus on the ranged part of PVP; always taking part in Archery competitions as well as a “navy”. They used small wooden boats as per Minecraft would allow, but they had become good enough at archery that they could shoot a targeted boat with little miss or mistake and they were particularly potent in the water on boat. Then there were the “XPShniks”; a opportunistic and trade-enriched faction that was located further inland to beyond the mountains and hills of Assassins and a way’s away from Ixilitlon’s sands. The XPShniks; while not as numerous as Yoahtl or Assasins, held the concept of trade amongst the factions on the continent highly. It was because of this that they’d quickly become the more wealthy part of the continent. This was coupled for their focus on PVP  involving wolves and their love for creating massive structures. Their base was small; but it was made up of large circular towers that started small from the bottom, and larger the higher they became; made from stone bricks. They would scour the continent for any wolves to tame and bring them back to their towers where; whole war parties made up of 4-8 wolves led by one tamer armed with a bow and whatever the best armor and sword he/she could get. All they did was build, trade, train, and gather more wolves. The people of Wayon-Dot were happy and all those dwelled within it enjoyed a time of relative peace and harmony with each other; free from worry from the Continent of Spawn; at least for the time being.

Line 106 ⟶ 108:
(to be written)
 
''' The Era of Resettlement ''' was marked by the end of Meloncraft and the exodus of many YoahtlansYoahtlan to Civcraft 2.0. This era began in Meloncraft and was characterized by a sense of being lost and purposeless. The community struggled to survive and adapt to the new environment of Civcraft. This era came to an end with the coming of the Goodspringers and St_Leibowitz, the future Alcuahtl, who took a look at Yoahtl's governing traditions and found them lacking.
 
''' The Era of Dissent ''' was the era of Yoahtl's many attempts at a constitution and governmental reform. It was an era formed out of the necessity of change to the community that came from being on a new server. However, the incongruity between the attempted reforms and Yoahtl's traditions led to a period of intense disorganization and power struggles, allowing proliferation of selfish interests. Faced with the ongoing infighting and ineffective governance brought on by corruption and poor governmental reforms, the community split and shattered, leaving Yoahtl nearly dead. During the worst of these times, Yoahtl consisted of Quauhtli_Mia, Klasikrok, WackyAki, And St. Leibowitz.
Line 120 ⟶ 122:
At the start of CivClassic, Yoahtl was governed by Alcuahtl St_Liebowitz (who was largely inactive), Deputy Alcuahtl Asakuun, and Quauhtli_Mia. They established the town of Axochitlan, near the southeast worldborder <ref>CCMap at {{Coord|3416|12032|728}} </ref>, a short distance from [[Laconia]].
 
Initially, Yoahtl was intended to function as a loose federation of smaller towns, with Laconia holding a prominent position. However, disagreements over the terms led to the First Yoahtl-Laconia War, starting around the 4th of July 2017. Several YoahtlansYoahtlan were pearled, and the war concluded with Yoahtl’s surrender on the 7th of July.
 
Both before and after the war, Laconia (at the time consisting of BuckyHD, TofeeDodger, and FRESH_candy) conducted several raids on Axochitlan, using alt accounts to conceal their identity, and switching back to their main accounts when YoahtlansYoahtlan called for help.
 
==== Exile ====
Line 143 ⟶ 145:
 
==== Somber War ====
Yoahtl initially maintained neutrality throughout the [[Somber War]] until the defeat of [[Anguish]] and subsequent confinement of Lexington to their vault. After entering talks with Hjaltland, BlueSylvaer and bgbba agreed that Yoahtl would enter the [[Western Alliance]] and commit to the war effort. Yoahtl's presence was felt heavily at the final assault on Lexington, with many YoahtlansYoahtlan participating on the skybridge including bgbba who was at the time the Deputy Alcuahtl and TheOrangeWizard the Alcuahtl. The defeat of Lexington led Quauhtli_mia to declare that the era had ended and a new era had begun.
 
=== The Era of Resurgence (March 2018 - January 2019) ===
Line 217 ⟶ 219:
'''The Purgatory Period - Winter 2022 to July 2022'''
 
This period is highlighted by the Purgatory Proposal. The Purgatory Proposal prevents normal elections from occurring due to no mainline sever for Yoahtl to join. Drama on the CivMC Discord has made Yoahtl feel disatisfised with the community there, causing many YoahtlansYoahtlan to invest more into the Yoahtlan community. New and old faces appear within the Yoahtl Discord with anticipation for the CivMC release.
